Hewlett-Packard is extending the concept of providing total solutions to home and small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) users.
It has developed a digital imaging solution comprising its wide range of products - digital cameras and scanners for input, multimedia PCs for processing, CD-rewritable drives for storage, and deskjet printers and all-in-one printer-fax-copier-scanner machines for output.
All these new products will be rolled out in Hong Kong this year, targeting home and small business customers.
However, HP would not sell the products as a total package at a discount, because most users already used some of them, the company's channel manager in Hong Kong, Michael Lam, said.
It was not exactly pricing but the value for money that was the primary concern for consumers, Mr Lam said.
'For example, prices of PCs have remained around $10,000 for half a year, while vendor competition focuses more on added value such as bundling items,' he said.
